^24 (A)“Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, ^(B)for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean,

²⁶ But ^(A)you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the ^(B)native or the stranger who sojourns among you

²⁷ (for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean),

²⁹ For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people.

^30 (A)So keep my charge never to practice ^(B)any of these abominable customs that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves unclean by them: ^(C)I am the Lord your God.”
